Alcohol Myopia

He says,’You’re good enough

For a quick fuck,

There’s no forever more,’

I say, ‘You shouldn’t say this

To anyone, let alone

To someone who grew up

Counting to ten.’

He says,’Let’s do it

One last time, come on babes’

I say,’You had two beers,

I had six glasses of wine,

You’d better look up alcohol myopia

When you’re done texting

That new Malayali chick you’ve found.’

I must’ve found strength

I must’ve found courage

Before I crashed out on the sofa.

The cops broke the front door found me there

Said, 'Madam aap idhar pade ho

Saab balcony se girke off ho gaya.'    

I look at the pigeon net on the balcony.

It’s broken. Dammit.

Will need to call pest control.
